Why HN links it
HN readers link Vanessa's blog for its WatchMe project docs and posts on using LD_AUDIT for Linux library loading. One commenter also points to her About page for her path from med school to CS.

HN discussionI think you should reach out to @vsoch on Twitter. Even though it's not her area of work today, she went through the Med School world, while also focusing on CS. Check out her About page ( https://vsoch.github.io/about/ ), see if that resonates with you, and feel free to ping her on Twitter with questions!
